At Crystal D, we care about our community. In 2016, we volunteered 771 hours. In 2017, we knocked it out of the park and volunteered 1071.25 hours. Chuck is challenging us to volunteer 1000 hours in 2018. Since Chuck issued that challenge at WOW Day on January 19, we’ve been busy! So far, we’ve volunteered 51 hours with 24 organizations.
I caught up with some of our Memory Makers to hear about how their volunteering experiences have been.
“I had a blast packing meals for kids who can’t eat due to no income in their families,” said Brenda Peralta. “They’ll receive breakfast and healthy snacks during the school days.”
“It was nice to hear all of the ‘thank yous’ from riders in the MS 150,” said Jen Jezierski. “They were so appreciative that we were there to get them all set for their bike ride that helped benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.”
We enjoy giving back to our community, and I can’t wait to see where else our Memory Makers will be volunteering this year!
Check back soon for an update!
